The most awaited movie has been shown and our young family all trooped to the movie house yesterday to watch it.
The verdicts have been out whether it lived up to the book’s storyline or not, and of course, as it always happen, “we can not please everyone”
Here are my two cents worth of thoughts:
Robert Pattinson is a cool Edward, I mean, not because he is supposed to be “cold”. I was skeptical at first because he seemed “thin” for the role. His wary smiles, the way he looked at Bella, its as if one can feel the tension and the passion building up. His sparkling body did not really sparkle much or maybe my eyesight was just a bit blurry even when looking at the big screen.
Kristen Stewart as Bella looks like she can’t possibly drive a humongous truck that she must have trained at a truck driving school back in Arizona. Her passion lacks in the movie like she was just there for the thrill in being with a vampire. I like her reaction though when she was in the hospital and she was shaking her head, saying “No” or something like that. I also liked when she was shouting at Edward as they “broke up”.
Sure, the tender moments were enough to make one giddy but there seems to be something lacking, and I can’t exactly pinpoint what it was. The meadow seems was not what I had in mind though.
The baseball game was exciting to watch too.
The other characters were good, including Charlie and Jacob who could have been given more time to appear on screen to establish his future role.
The Cullens were gorgeous except for the makeup which seemed too thick (or maybe its just me).
The high school gang looks cool and one would wonder why hanging out with a vampire seems better than hanging out with them.
The place, oh, just exactly what I want to explore. The wild beach, the fresh air, the trees and the rains, including those gray and dreary skies. Yes, even if I don’t like rains that much.
My verdict? Though the movie seems to lack something, I want to watch it again. This time without the kids. My son wants to watch New Moon, so he tells me and of course my eldest daughter would want that too.
When you can live forever what do you live for?
